That sounds about right for this White House.

"Brand-new White House communications director and human pinky ring Anthony Scaramucci thought it would be a good idea to quote Joe Paterno on the topics of “honor and dignity.” As a reminder, Paterno was fired from Penn State for helping cover up decades of child sexual abuse by Jerry Sandusky."

@ehBeth,
And thank you too, ehBeth - I knew about the Diggers but didn't know his name, or if I did, I didn't recall it all this time later.
Now I want to read Ringolevio..

@emmett grogan,
But . . . but . . . but . . . don't you understand? A football program is of far greater importance than justice for rape victims -- regardless if the perpetrator is a coach or one or more players. [sarcasm definitely intended]

The Penn State students who rioted were upset -- not because Sandusky had been raping young boys for years, but because their little god JoePa had just been fired! By the way, I wonder how many of the Penn State victims have received death threats from fans who, to put it mildly, should know better. As a matter of fact, one of the victims was "outed" by his high-school coach during his senior year. (A grandmother of one of the Penn State football players reacted by walking up to the mother of the victim and telling her, "Now my grandson's football team is going to lose, and it's all your son's fault!" Hey, whatever happened to empathy and compassion, not to mention having a sense of justice?) Many of his classmates blamed him for the downfall of their "hero" Joe Paterno from the top of his pedestal. He was bullied so badly that he had to drop out of school before his graduation. Neither Franco Harris nor any former Penn State football player of his stature came out in defense of this victim.

How any decent person can admire Joe Paterno or any of the other pathetic individuals in this sordid scandal is beyond me. The answer? It's simple: Football is a sacred god.

@wmwcjr,
That may be true of the Penn State football world, but Scaramucci is the communications director for the President of the United States.

The people who took their football fandom to insane lengths after years of worshipping Paterno are pathetic, but it happens. What is Trump's and Scaramucci's excuse? Oh wait, that's right, Trump used to walk in on the dressing rooms of the 15 and 16 year old contestants in the Mrs Teen beauty pageants he was running. Birds of a feather, Trump and Scaramucci.

@edgarblythe,
Apparently this White House has no problem with a foul mouth but draws the line at holding up pederasts as examples to be followed.

@Blickers,
At least they draw the line at child rapist apologists. Joe P created the atmosphere that allowed Sandusky to thrive and operate with what he felt was impunity. It took years of this guy preying on children before he was caught because Joe P basically protected him.

@emmett grogan,
Yes, that is something, I guess. But apparently that is how far down you have to go before this White House will get rid of you.

@Blickers,
Its a wonderment, that's for sure. I think everyone at the White House will be fired eventually. Including Drumph.

@emmett grogan,
I personally think in a year or two Trump will be living in Russia to avoid prosecution. Constitutionally they can't arrest him while he's president, but once he's impeached or steps down, they can go after him. One of the few places on earth the US can't go after a suspected criminal is Russia, so that's where I think he's going.

Watch-in a couple of years Trump will have his own show on the RT network about how he tried to stop the "New World Order" while he was president, but they brought him down.

@Blickers,
I think he's already looking for his next gig, RT would be a good fit for him.
